CHRIST OR CHAOS

ISAIAH 45:22
ISAIAH 45:22

“Kayoy magsitingin sa akin,


at kayo’y mangaligtas, lahat
na taga wakas ng lupa:
sapagka’t ako’y Dios, at
walang iba liban sa akin”
OUR WORLD TODAY IS IN VERY
SERIOUS TROUBLE IN MORE THAN
ONE WAY
1. The nations are in serious difficulty; that
was foretold by our Lord.
a. Distress among nations.
b. Heart trouble among men- Luke 21:25-26
2. Our modern society is in trouble
a. Morality is, in many instances, cast to the
wind- 2 Tim. 3: 1-8
b. Excess in amusements and pleasures are
sapping the strength of the nation. Luke
17:26-27
c. The American home is in difficulty
(1) Juvenile delinquency keeps the courts
more than busy.
(2) Parents seem unable to keep their
children within bounds.
(3) Divorces are on the increase to an alarming
extent, and the end is not in sight
3. The church is in a state of impotence, unable
to cope with the influence of the world upon its
members:
a.Ponder the testimony of the witness to the
church of Laodicea- Rev. 3:14-22
b.Think of the prediction of our Lord of the last
days Matt. 24:12
c. And above all, read Paul’s
prophecy of the conditions in
the last days- 2 Tim. 3:1-9
WHERE SHALL WE TURN UNDER THESE
CIRCUMSTANCES FOR HELP
1. The nations have turned to science and the
scientist:
a. Accomplishment of current science is
amazing and at times baffling. Dan. 12:4
b. We are living in an era of great forward
movement in many fields of knowledge.
2. But there is one field where science is
helpless- to build up moral strength. It has not
even touched the character of human beings.
CHRIST OR CHAOS

1. Our text offers God’s remedy for ills of the


world, society and the family:
a. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the
ends of the earth- Isa. 45:22
b. There is no remedy for sin outside of
Christ- Acts 4:12
c. Only the blood of Christ is able to cover
our sins
2. When the Jews, as a nation rejected
Christ:
a.The cut themselves off from all hope.
b.They cut the last link between them as a
nation and a people
3. Christ has the remedy, for what ails the
world.
a. The world needs real peace.
b. Christ offers that peace to all who desire
it- John 14:27
c. The world needs rest.
d. Christ offers rest to all who come unto
him- Matt. 11:28-30
4. Here are a number of very timely
questions:
a. What will the world do with its sins?
b. The bible has the answer- John 1:29
c. What can the world do with all its
problems?
d. The bible has the answer- 1 Peter 5:5-7
e. How shall we face the judgement day
without Christ?
f. The Bible has the answer- 2 Cor. 5:10,
Rev. 20:10-12
g. Take Christ out of the world, and peace is
impossible; take Him out of the society, and
society is doomed; take Christ out of the
Church, and the church is meaningless, take
Christ out of the home, and you have a
home filled with darkness and despair.
h. That brings us back to our subject title-
CHRIST OR CHAOS?
